Summer Academy | Atlantic Street Center

Summer Academy is currently closed for applications.

Summer Academy has been one of our staple programs for over 40 years. For five to six weeks, we offer a curriculum consisting of reading, writing, math, and cultural enrichment activities for children entering grades 3^rd through 9^th.

Students who attend Summer Academy receive:

Engaging activities and classroom time Monday-Friday, 9 am – 3 pm
Free breakfast and lunch
Access to Atlantic Street Center mental health counselors
Lessons, including STEAM-related courses, taught by Certified Teachers in a small classroom setting
Opportunities to learn activities such as theater, painting, dance, and how to start a business
Field trips to places like MoPOP, iFly, the Museum of Flight, and more (destinations are subject to change)
Extra coursework help from hired tutors
A moving-on ceremony and celebration

The program’s success is independently measured every year. Students who participated have shown marked improvement in reading, writing, math, and social skills, which they take with them into the following school year, and into successes throughout their lives.

ELIGIBILITY: All participants must be Seattle Public School students, come from high-need families, and be at least moving on to third grade after Summer Academy. We teach up to those entering grade 9.

Summer Academy is independently funded through public and private grants, so it is free for all eligible participants.
